EHS English teachers use various approaches The three English teachers use several different tech- niques in their classes. Mr. Mike Westerman, Basic Eng- lish and English I teacher, uses home-made films, which past classes filmed, to illustrate scenes from The Odys- sey in Greek Mythology. During a 5-6 week period, Mr. Tony Furse teaches his English II students some basic knowledge and ideas about newspapers. They use daily copies of The Wichita Eagle and weekly copies of The Ellinwood Leader to teach some of these ideas. Mrs. Nancy Converse uses tapes, records, filmstrips, movies, video tapes, paintings, and photographs to aid in teach- ing her English III and IV classes. Various students from all sections of English attended plays at St. Mary's of the Plains, Sterling, and Mary- mount Colleges throughout the year.

Lib Sci. Journalism The newspaper staff had the print for the paper set this year at the Leader office instead of doing it themselves on the type- writers. This made for a better looking school newspaper. Under editors Julie Parish, Theresa Peintner, and Lorri DeWerff, the staff made big improvements in the areas of feature writing and editorial writing. Members of the staff were Curtis Arbuckle, Nancee Dannebohm, LeAnne Detmer, Jean Feist, Jolene Gatton, Susan Grant, Kevin Hickel, JoEllen Klep- per, Zane Kramp, Debbie Malone, Machelle O’Neal, Cheryl Whittaker, and Ruth Worman. The library science students helped out in the library during different hours. Some of the duties they performed were pro- cessing books to be put on shelves, checking for overdues, making catalog file cards, checking out books, and putting books on shelves.

The students in Library Science were Tracy Collins, LeAnne Detmer, Brenda Dickey, Jolene Gatton, Darlene Hewitt, Molly Isern, Pam Jackson, Debbie Malone, Julie Oglesbee, Julie Par- ish, Sonya Seitz, and Tami Stremel. 1.
